@fhbfkjjfdscc, Welcome to the HP Support Community – it’s great to have you here!
I appreciate you taking the time to share your question. I'm more than happy to assist with this and provide a solution that works for you.
If HP Recovery Manager is missing from the Start Menu but the recovery partition is still intact, there are a few ways you can restore or access recovery options on your HP Notebook 15-ba00 series:
Option 1: Use F11 at Startup
Even if Recovery Manager is missing from Windows, you can still access recovery tools via the recovery partition:
- Turn off your notebook.
- Turn it back on and immediately press the F11 key repeatedly until the Choose an option screen appears.
- Select Troubleshoot > Recovery Manager (if available) or Reset this PC.
This method uses the recovery partition directly and is often the most reliable.
Option 2: Use Windows Built-in Recovery
If F11 doesn’t work or Recovery Manager isn’t listed:
- Go to Start > Settings > Update & Security > Recovery.
- Under Reset this PC, click Get started.
- Choose to Keep my files or Remove everything, depending on your needs.
More info here: HP PCs - Recovery Options in Windows 10/11
Option 3: Use HP Cloud Recovery Tool
If the recovery partition is corrupted or inaccessible, you can create a recovery USB using the HP Cloud Recovery Tool:
- Download the tool from: HP Cloud Recovery Tool
- Run it on another working PC.
- Enter your notebook’s product number (found on the bottom of your laptop or in BIOS).
- Follow the prompts to create a recovery USB drive.
- Boot your notebook from the USB to reinstall the original factory image.
Additional Tip:
If your notebook was upgraded from Windows 7/8 to Windows 10, HP Recovery Manager may have been removed during the upgrade. In such cases, HP recommends using Windows recovery tools or the Cloud Recovery Tool.
I hope your issue is now resolved. If not, feel free to reply and we’ll continue helping until everything’s sorted!
